To get started, please reach out via phone or email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss your therapy goals, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. If you feel I’m a good fit for your therapeutic needs, we’ll schedule your first appointment. I’ll then send you intake paperwork to complete electronically before our session. You’ll also receive a reminder notification via text and email (for telehealth sessions, the reminder will include the Zoom link).

Currently, I offer in-person therapy for couples and individuals at my office in Montclair, New Jersey. I also provide virtual therapy for clients across New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. If we’re meeting virtually, you will receive a reminder with your unique Zoom link the day before your appointment.

My fee for couples therapy is $200 per 50-minute session or $300 per 80-minute session. Individual therapy is $175 per 50-minute session.

I am not in-network with any health insurances. While I do not bill insurance companies directly, I can provide you with a statement for potential reimbursement of individual therapy sessions if you meet medical necessity requirements and have out-of-network benefits. For couples therapy, I only offer services on a self-pay basis. This is because couples therapy rarely meets criteria for medical necessity, and the only way for it to be a reimbursable service is to classify it as "family therapy" that is targeted at treating one person's ("identified patient") mental health diagnosis. Because couples therapy does not focus on one person, this way of billing creates a risk in the event of an audit where the insurance company determines their requirements were not met and may recoup, or "clawback," funds that have been previously disbursed to you.

The first session will be an initial assessment, where we’ll discuss your individual or relationship history and your goals for therapy. During this session, you (or you and your partner(s)) will also have the opportunity to experience how therapy works, review office policies, and go over privacy and confidentiality.

The length of therapy depends entirely on your goals and what you're hoping to achieve. Some individuals or couples may attend therapy weekly for months or even years, while others may only need a few sessions. That said, couples therapy tends to be shorter-term than individual therapy. Generally, I tell people that three months is the minimum time needed to begin implementing meaningful change.
